You see one article in Gawker and paint an entire generation as people who all want a "base living wage"? And I'm supposed to take you seriously? You should have "Get off my lawn" tattooed on your forehead.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but every generational youth coming of age experiences the SAME negative conditions you have outlined. There is nothing going on here that has not happened to your ancestors in the past. Read some history, and you will see that.
There has always been:
- Wars
- Depressions
- Unemployment
- Social unrest
- Environmental tragedies
- Natural disasters

Is everyone getting the bare essentials really that bad? Room over head, food, and health care is bare essentials. After that is taken care of everything else should be earned.

Wish I wasn't leaving and was home and not on vacation... so want to respond to this thread. So will say this.

Are people really so self centered that this is asking too much?
Have to go, so will leave it with that simple thing.
But now, the millennial generation wants a "base living wage" for everyone?

It only requires trillions of dollars because humanity has arbitrarily decided it does. Money is a made up concept.
